During a conversation on the show By the Way, host Azamat Musagaliev and Garik Kharlamov spoke with rapper Dzhigan, who opened up about the personal habits that fueled a recent scandal involving Oksana Samoilova. He said the issues stemmed from his own behavior and not from outside forces, framing the moment as a wake-up call for his family life.
He described a decisive turning point: he stopped drinking and surpassed four months of sobriety, choosing to quit smoking as well. He recalled the moment as a single, life-altering day when everything changed, revealing how those substances had heavily impacted his interactions, especially at home with his children. He noted the tension it created for their kids, highlighting how difficult it was to witness such struggles unfold in front of them and how it challenged the stability of the family moment by moment.
In March 2023, rumors spread that Dzhigan and Oksana Samoilova had separated. He began appearing less in photos on his wife’s social accounts and moved to a separate apartment. He later explained that the move was tied to the production schedule for a new album, a practical step rather than a reflection of the relationship itself.
In April 2023, Samoilova confirmed that an argument occurred between them. They managed to reconcile after some time, and both parties pushed back against speculation that their differences were manufactured for public attention. They underscored that their relationship had never been exaggerated for publicity, emphasizing a commitment to working through their issues away from constant media scrutiny.
Earlier reports indicated that Samoilova had noted a notable weight loss, with Dzhigan losing around five kilograms over a short period. The couple’s public narrative continued to evolve as they navigated personal challenges and professional commitments, choosing to address moments of discord with honesty while focusing on their family and creative projects.
